As a biography, Maria Thayer was born on October 30, 1975 in Boring, Oregon, so her age is 32. And yes, that’s really the town’s name. It’s in Clackamas County, off Route 212. She is the oldest of two children. After Oregon, Maria moved to Minnesota where she went to high school, and later New York.
Maria began acting professionally in 1999, with a role in the movie “Kimberly”. Since then, her biggest role has been as Tammi on “Strangers with Candy”. She has also had several one-time appearances on various television shows, including “Law & Order: SVU”, “Will and Grace”, and “Nip/Tuck”. She has also appeared in such big-name films as “Accepted” alongside Justin Long, and “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” (remember the crazy newlywed?).
The latest in Maria’s filmography is “State of Play”, a film with an unbelievable cast that reads as follows: Rachel McAdams, Jason Bateman, Russell Crowe, Ben Affleck, Helen Mirren, Robin Wright Penn, and Jeff Daniels. The movie is about the murder of a congressman’s mistress and the team of investigative reporters who work alongside a police detective to solve the mysteries of the case. It is slated to be released April 17, 2009.
She lists Julianne Moore and Bernadette Peters as her redheaded role models. Her talents include the piano and the accordion.
